# Scan PDF vs EasyNote

The clearest difference is rating: Scan PDF at 4.8 against EasyNote's 4.0. Scan PDF also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 3). EasyNote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and EasyNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scan PDF holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan PDF has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scan PDF ships an update every 2 months, EasyNote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
